Disturbing first-person adventure Last Days of Lazarus

Hi everyone,

We’d like to showcase our disturbing adventure game Last Days of Lazarus, made with UE4. It’s a first-person narrative driven game heavily inspired by Romanian post-communist history, local superstitions and religious beliefs. It releases on Steam on June 22nd.

After their mother’s suicide, Lazarus returns home to his sister Lyudmila. But unexplained events make the country and even reality collapse around him. Looming death, social unrest and the supernatural threaten his sanity, yet Lazarus pushes forward to find the truth about his family.

The story is split into eight chapters and you’ll be visiting five locations inspired by actual places from Romania. You’ll get a chance to explore mysterious settings, interact with questionable characters, find documents to piece together what happened to this troubled family and solve light puzzles to progress.

Last Days of Lazarus is a collaboration between Darkania Works and GrimTalin, two small indie studios from Iasi, Romania. The game was made over the course of more than two and a half years.

Please wishlist the game if it seems like something you’d enjoy! We are grateful to anyone helping us spread the word!
